Year One Tie the Knot

The children in R1D finished their learning about traditional Christian services with a wonderful celebration – Brooke and Theo were married! The children planned for and organised the wedding, writing invitations and vows, making bouquets and button holes. Noah and George made fabulous ushers, asking everyone “Bride or groom?” as they entered the room. Rowan, the father of the bride, walked Brooke down the aisle accompanied by Harry and Luke, the page boys, and Harriet, Roamaney, Esme and Harriet, the bridesmaids, while Roo played the organ. James, the best man, had the important job of looking after the rings. Oscar read from the Bible, and Bexleigh and Elise witnessed the signing of the register. Lincoln led the service as the vicar, and Harry was kept busy taking photographs of all the key moments! Later, Brooke and Theo cut the cake and R1D celebrated with a party and food. Thank you so much to parents and carers for your support with providing costumes, and to Lorna for making the wedding cake. Congratulations to the happy couple!

The children in 1M also had a wonderful celebration when Megan and Harry got married on 24th May 2018! Charlie was a marvellous vicar, leading the ceremony and Freddie impressed everyone by being amazing by playing the piano! Children in 1M spent over three week organizing the wedding. They helped to make the flowers, write the vows and prayers and everyone took part in the wedding service. This helped to bring the children’s learning about Christian weddings to life. After the wedding ceremony children enjoyed their wedding reception with lots of yummy food, speeches and even a wedding disco! Children had plenty of time to party until the early hours of the afternoon! Many thanks to the parents and carers who provided the cake (well done to William’s mummy, it was delicious!), party food and flowers (a big thanks to Freddie’s mummy, they were beautiful!). Hip, hip, hooray to the new couple – Megan & Harry!
